What’s a flexible credit assessment?
We don’t just look at the black and white boxes on your home loan application. We make the effort to get to know you – the person behind the application. As part of our responsible lending assessment of your application, we'll ask the questions that matter and look to uncover the meaning behind any poor credit history. This allows us to make an informed decision based on your objectives and requirements, and ability to repay a loan with us.
It’s our flexible approach that helps Kiwis achieve their dreams of buying their new home.
Any loan applications are subject to the Pepper Money team completing responsible lending checks and considering your/every customers individual circumstances.

*Offer applies to ‘New Build’ Prime, Near Prime and Specialist Full Doc home loan applications with LVR >80 - 85%. Available for Metro security locations only. A New Build is a property where the borrower has made a financial and legal commitment to buy in the form of a purchase contract with the builder, prior to the property being built or at an early stage in construction. This could be traditional ‘construction lending’ where the loan is disbursed in staged payments, or it could be a loan to finance the purchase of a property, which will be settled (in one payment) once the build is complete or a newly-built entire dwelling completed less than six months before the mortgage application. The dwelling must be purchased from the original developer (the contract to buy at completion can be agreed while the building is still being constructed).
